United StatesPosted Jun 2020 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for the Software Engineer role at Chime and the process felt hard mainly due to aggressive, hard LeetCode-style coding questions layered with additional rounds.

Recruiter / scheduling — the reports focus on what happened technically once the interviews started.
Hard coding rounds — difficult algorithm-style questions, described as “master”-level; the difficulty was framed as manageable for 5+ years but potentially unfair for newer engineers.
Behavioral + general design — behavioral questions plus broader design discussion were included alongside the coding. Outcome: I didn’t move forward, and the takeaway was that the coding bar felt unusually high relative to the candidate stage.
